1. Husband of Sherri Pappini gives first on air interview with chilling new details on her kidnapping.

The husband of Sherri Papini, the California jogger who dumped on the side of a road allegedly by two female captors in California, has given his first on air interview where he recounted chilling details about his wife’s suspected kidnapping.

Keith Papini toldABC Newsabout the moment she was reportedly thrust from a moving vehicle on Thanksgiving, the day she was discovered.

“She was bound, she had a chain around her waist, that is correct, she had a bag over her head, that is correct,” he said.

“Her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something, she was chained anytime she was in a vehicle. They opened the door, she doesn’t know because she had a bag over her head, they cut something to free her restraint that was holding her into the vehicle and then, kind of, pushed her out of the vehicle.”

Sheri was reported missing after failing to return from a run on November 2 bound on the side of a rural road in the middle of the night.

Keith Papini said that when they freed her the alleged captors, thought to be two Latino women, stopped the vehicle and opened the door. “They cut something” that freed her restrain pushed her out onto the road and drove away.

“She screamed so much, she’s coughing up blood from the screaming trying to get somebody to stop,” he added. “And again just another sign of how my wife is, she’s so wonderful. She’s saying, ‘Well maybe people aren’t stopping because I have a chain that looks like I broke out of prison’ so she tried to tuck in her chain under her clothes.”

It’s unclear what happened to the so-called “super mom” during her absence but speculation has been rife and her husband revealed she was “covered in multicoloured bruises, severe burns, red rashes and chain markings.”

She’d also dropped to below 40kg, had a broken nose and “her signature long blond hair had been chopped off”.

4. Muslim woman told in court: Remove veil or don’t take stand.

A judge has told a woman suing police over a terrorism raid on her house to remove her veil if she wants to give evidence because she would not remove her veil.

According toNews Limited, NSW District Court judge Audrey Balla would not let Moutia Elzahed take the stand unless she took off her veil. But Ms Elzahed, who is one of two wives of Islamic extremist Hamdi Alqudsi, refused, saying it was against her religion to show her face to any man who was not a relative.

Ms Elzahed, who also refused to stand for the judge when he entered court, is suing the commonwealth and NSW for assault in relation to a counter-terrorism raid on her home in September 2014.

Her lawyer, Clive Evatt, said she could not reveal her face to any man but when Judge Balla gave Ms Elzahed a choice; she could have the court closed while she gave evidence or she could give evidence via video link. She declined both options due to the fact male lawyers on both sides would still be in court and would see her face.

Outside court she told media it was unfair that she could not give evidence.
